CHAPTER 14

LAMB-LIKE BEAST FORCES WORSHIP

 

Revelation 13:12 - “And he [U.S.A.] exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” America will also use their “power”, global economic influence, legislative actions and/ or judicial decisions, to force or “causeth” the world to worship Papal Rome, whose deadly wound was healed. Remember, the power of the U.S. government has applied more healing “agents” to heal the “wounds” of Papal Rome! Papal Rome’s head is almost completely healed!

Papal Rome has not changed. Their policies and doctrines are still the same as they were centuries ago. They may appear to have adopted to American principles, but historically they believe that church and state should not be separate. They believe that they are the “true universal church” in which both church and state should be under their control in order for the world to experience “true freedom.”

Pope Leo XIII writes in his 1879 Encyclical, “The Church of Rome is one monarchy over all the kingdoms, as the mind and soul of the body of a man, or as God in the world. Therefore, the Church of Rome must not only have the spiritual power, but also the Supreme temporal power.” - Grant, M.R. Americanism vs. Roman Catholicism. Gulfport, MA: Truth Publishing, 1921, p. 29

Papal Rome can try to make these blasphemous claims, but Jesus is the head of His true church, not man. God has not given any organization the religious power that Papal Rome claims. Papal Rome does not like the U.S. Constitution and its fundamental principles of separation of church and state.

What does Papal Rome say about the U.S. Constitution and its principles of separation of church and state?

“This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it.” - Pope Gregory XVI, Encyclical Letter: On Liberalism and Religious Indifferentism, August 15, 1832 Pope Pius IX in his August 15, 1854, Encyclical Letter says, “The absurd and erroneous doctrines, or ravings in defense of liberty of conscience, are a most pestilential error, a pest of all others, to be dreaded in the State.” -

Brandt, John, America or Rome: Christ or the Pope, Toledo: The Loyal, 1895, p. 416

Pius also believed that it was an error that “the church ought to be separate from the state and the state from the church.” - Ibid, p. 417

In June 1991 after the fall of communism, Pope John Paul visited his homeland of Poland who was freed from under the USSR regime. Time magazine published its commentary of John Paul’s visit. It noted the pope’s thoughts on the separation of church and state: “This time the crowds were smaller and more muted, while the Pope’s message was aimed not at repression, but at the danger of unchecked freedom. In sermons based on the Ten Commandments, John Paul denounced excessive materialism, divorce, contraception and the separation of church and state, imploring Poles.” - TIME June 17, 1991 “The Gift Of Life” p. 47 Sermons from A Native Son. John Paul was a modern day pope. Even though Polish people were free from oppressive rule of communism John Paul believed that there is a “danger of unchecked freedom” and denounced “the separation of church and state.”

According Pope Leo XIII encyclical of November 7, 1885, he says, “Every Catholic should rigidly adhere to the teachings of the Roman pontiff, especially in the matter of modern liberty, which, already, under the semblance of honesty of purpose, leads to destruction. We exhort all Catholics to devote careful attention to public matters, and to take part in all municipal affairs and elections, and all public services, meetings, and gatherings. All Catholics must make themselves felt as active elements in daily political life in countries where they live. All Catholics should exert their power to cause the constitutions of states to be modeled on the principles of the true church.” - Liberty, Second Quarter 1909, Volume 4, No. 2, Cardinal Gibbons’ s Views on Church and State p.6

“The textbook on public ecclesiastical law used at the Pontifical University in Rome, where the elite of the American clergy are trained, makes the duty of Catholics in the United States very clear: ‘Catholics must make all possible efforts to bring about the rejection of this religious indifference of the State and the instauration [restoring], as soon as possible, of the wished- for union and concord of State and Church... Whether tolerance of non- Catholic religions is promised under oath by statutory law or not, it can never be admitted.” - James Hastings Nichols, Democracy and the Churches, Philadelphia: The Westminster Press, 1951, p. 266. Nichols took the original quote from, La Piana, Shane Quarterly, April, 1942, pp. 92ff.

This study has already revealed the historical evidence of how the U.S. government and its presidents have developed a very close and intimate relationship over the years with the papacy in our modern time “healing the wound” while at the same time eroding away the U.S. Constitution.

All Catholics are taught that their main loyalty is to the pope and the papacy first. See the following quotes:

“The Roman Catholic citizens of the United States owe no allegiance to any principles of the Government which are condemned by the Pope,” says The Tablet - Grant, M.R. Americanism vs. Roman Catholicism. Gulfport, MA: Truth Publishing, 1921, p. 29

“Nationalities must be subordinate to religion and must learn that we are Catholics first and citizens next,” says Bishop Gilmore in the Lenten Letter, March, 1873 - Ibid p. 28

Within our modern new millennium era, did you know that the papacy through its Catholic and Jesuit “agents” have successfully secured powerful and influential positions in the U.S. government, Congress, judicial systems, and military defense?

“Undoubtedly it is the intention of the Pope to possess this country [U.S.A.]. In this intention, he is aided by the Jesuits and all the Catholic prelates and priests,” says Catholic writer, Dr. O. A. Bronson – Ibid p. 29

The Catholic Register, April 16, 1914, records, “There is no crime that the doting warrior (General Miles) charges against us to which we must not plead guilty. He says that we are trying to make the United States a Catholic country. We most certainly are doing all in our power to accomplish it.” - Ibid p. 29

The 113th Congress had a historic high of 163 Catholics in Congress. According to the National Catholic Reporter, “Since at least the 1960s, Catholics have been the single largest denomination in Congress. Although when Protestant denominations are counted together, they still constitute the largest number of members, at 56 percent. Another analysis finds that alumni of Jesuit colleges and universities account for almost 10 percent of all members of Congress.” - Patricia Zapor Catholic News Service: Jan. 8, 2013 Catholics still largest Congress denomination; 10 percent Jesuit grads (ncronline.org/news/politics/catholics-still-largest-congress-denomination- 10-percent-jesuit-grads)

According to the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU), “ten percent of the 115th U.S. Congress are Jesuit college and university alumni. Among the 535 members of this Congress, 56 are alumni of Jesuit institutions.” A significant number of Congress members are Jesuit trained irregardless of party, Democrat or Republican.

There were 12 Jesuit alumni in the Senate and 44 in the House of Representatives. Among the top leadership, Congressmen John Boehner (R-OH) was the first Jesuit alumnus to serve as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Did you know that John Boehner was the one who was able to get Pope Francis, a Jesuit, to speak to U.S. Congress in 2015? Do you think that was by chance? Of course, not. It was all by the crafty design of the papacy. Did you know that Boehner was overjoyed that he got the pope to speak to Congress? There were times in which Boehner was seen shedding tears of joy during the pope’s speech. After Boehner’s success the next day he abruptly “retired” from one of the most powerful positions in the world. Why? Mission accomplished! His successor as speaker of the house, Paul Ryan is also a Catholic. This is all pushed by the papacy to execute their agenda.

Many of the Trump administration’s inner circle, advisers, and cabinet are Jesuit-trained and devout Catholics. For example, President Donald Trump received Jesuit training at Fordham University for two years. Vice President Mike Pence identifies himself as an “evangelical Catholic.” Kellyanne Conway, counselor to Trump; Andrew Bremburg, assistant to the President; and Sean Spicer, White Chief of Staff are devout Roman Catholics. The following are Jesuit-trained at Georgetown University: Steve Bannon, chief strategist and Senior Counselor; David Malpass, VP of the Council for National Policy; John Mulvaney, Director of Office of Management; John Kelly, Director of Homeland Security. Thomas J. Reese, a Jesuit priest, is the Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Before the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016, six out of nine Supreme Court Justices would have been Roman Catholics, the remaining three Jewish. Do you think the shift to a majority Catholic Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, is also by chance? Of course, not.

The Missionary, an old Catholic publication, in June 1909 says, “Many non- Catholics fear us as a political organization and are afraid that the Catholic Church will dominate and rule; we are working quietly, seriously and I may say effectively, to that end.” - M.R. Grant, Americanism vs. Roman Catholicism. Gulfport, MA: Truth Publishing, 1921, p. 29

The Shepherd of the Valley, the official journal of the Bishop of St. Louis, November 23, 1851 edition reports, “If Catholics ever gain a sufficient numerical majority in this country, religious freedom is at an end-so our enemies say - so we believe.” - Thompson, Slason and Hobart C. Taylor, America: Journal For Americans, Volume 2, Chicago: Slason Thompson and Co Publishers, 1889, p. 82

Should all Americans and true Protestant Christians worldwide be concerned about this? Yes. “We the people” must wake up to what the Bible is warning us about. The end is extremely near! Let’s continue to study.

Remember, Papal Rome, the beast, has a replica of itself known as the image of the beast who symbolically represent all apostate Christian churches who have unified with Papal Rome on key doctrines and principles that ignites the mark of the beast crisis.

What nation makes an image of the beast?

The following verses is a continuation of Revelation 13:11 and 12 which speaks of the lamb like beast with two horns which represents the U.S.A.

Revelation 13:13, 14

13 “And he [U.S.A.] doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image of the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.”

The lamb-like beast of Revelation 13:11 has been clearly identified as the United States of America. Revelation 13:14 makes it very clear that the U.S.A. will make an image of the beast! How? Revelation 13:13 says through “great wonders” even making fire come down from heaven. “Wonders” in the Greek also means “signs” or “mark.” These great signs will be used as proof to the world that they should worship the beast. These signs will have the power to deceive the world in the “sight” or face of Papal Rome. This shows you the great success of Papal Rome’s infiltration in the U.S. Government and its institutions. Their agents will literally be in America to witness this. Remember, in Revelation 13:2 it is the dragon that is behind Papal Rome and in Revelation 13:11 the U.S.A. “speaks as a dragon.” It is very clear that the dragon, Satan, is behind the whole operation. He will use the influence of America to deceive the world and make an image of the beast.

You need to beware and study God’s Word carefully knowing the truth so you can detect error. 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10 asserts that this great worldwide deception will be by “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.” Right before the coming of Jesus Christ, Satan will come as an “angel of light” to the world. 2 Corinthians 11:14 says, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” Be not deceived. Jesus says in Matthew 24:24, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” The only ones who are not deceived in the last days are those who are faithfully studying God’s Word and abiding in Christ denying all worldliness. If you are not doing this, you will be deceived. There is no middle ground. By the way, in 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17 the Bible teaches that Jesus at His second coming will descend from heaven to get those who are saved, they will “meet the Lord in the air.” Jesus will not touch this earth at His second coming and walk around on the earth.

U.S.A.’s Death Penalty?

Not only will the U.S. make an image of the beast through deceptive signs and wonders, but it will eventually legislate and enforce a death penalty for those who refuse to worship the image of the beast.

Revelation 13:15 - “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

Remember, America “speaks” through its laws and “causes” through the enforcement of those laws using the police
